Hi, pleased to meet you. I would like to suggest a few updates to the History and Fleet sections that I believe will help improve the article, as follows:
- In the last paragraph of the History section, please delete the second sentence, which is an unnecessary level of detail and not noteworthy.
- After removing the second sentence, the paragraph should look like this:
- The line's first ship, Explora I, completed its sea trials in April 2023. Its first cruise began on 1 August 2023 departing from Copenhagen.[1][2]
- Please also add the following sentence to the end of the History section as an update to keep the article current:
- In 2024 and 2025 the cruise line won "Best Luxury Cruise Line" at the Cruise Critic Awards.[1]
- Please add a new first paragraph to the Fleet section, which is a corrected version of the incorrect content found directly under the Future Fleet table, as follows:
- As of July 2025, the fleet attained three construction milestones in Genoa Sestri Ponente—the location of the Italian shipyard where the ships are built. Explora III was floated out; a coin ceremony took place for Explora IV; and the first steel was cut for Explora V. The milestones represent the MSC Group's progress towards a total fleet of 6 ships after an investment of €3.5 billion.[2]
- Please replace the sentence that is currently in the Fleet section with the following, which contains updated and correct information about the Fleet:
- As of November 2025, the line's fleet consisted of two ships. A third ship is scheduled to leave from Barcelona in August 2026. Three more vessels are planned for departures in 2027 and 2028, and plan to include cruises to Asia and the Far East. [3][4]
- Since the second table has the title "Future fleet" it makes sense that the "Current fleet" table also has a title. Please add ==Current Fleet== directly above the first table.
- Please delete the following content that is directly below the "Future Fleet" table. It is a mistake, and the content that was added above in the "Fleet" section is the corrected version of this content:
- construction July 2025[5][6][7]
- float-out of EXPLORA III
- coin ceremony of EXPLORA IV
- steel cutting of EXPLORA V
Thank you for adding these updates. Fanette Explora (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
- I personally wouldn't action requests #1 and #2 here. For #1, the fire panel delay is short in length, was highlighted in reliable sources, and is useful information for our purposes. For #2, I can't find a reliable source that supports the cruise award (the source provided here is either a reprinted press release or the next-closest thing). To me, the mostly missing coverage about these awards in general indicates that these are rather minor and not worthy of mention here. The other requests seem fine, assuming that the LLM-generated sentences are accurate, but I'll wait to see if anyone else has thoughts. Ed [talk] [OMT] 21:17, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
